I wanna be sentimental in the morning and make love to you but I doubt we'll make it past first base, cause my breathe it smells like fuel fighting fires with my mouth open wide I'm a toxic mess all the after effects of booze wrapped in greasy food and complete in digest and I feel like I should have wised up by now, but so should have you, so fuck it, let’s make out, and pretend were still into it too and I'm completely grossed out by me, you seem fine with it, which is lucky, cause we can continue this way for days, and Ill shower 3 more times today, see if that washes this feeling away My crooked teeth are starting to look permanently stained any my pink gums are turning pale and off grey my stomach frowns, and my lungs they can’t keep up and everything I eat goes straight through me and I feel like I should have wised up by now, but so should have you, so fuck it, let’s make out, and pretend were still into it too and I'm completely grossed out by me, you seem fine with it, which is lucky, cause we can continue this way for days, and Ill shower 3 more times today, see if that washes this feeling away and I’m forever spilling food on my jeans thought it would be easier to keep dark clothes clean somebody told me to always just wear black but now I’ve got suspicious white stains on my crutch and my knees

Coyote 03:45
We can keep the light low when you call turning pictures into photographs of all of us refrigerate the fear until its warm this will be the end of us all this will be the end of us all But not tonight Draw Bridges not swords Put it in Pen, Put it on the wall Flying tigers in the dark this will be the end of us all this will be the end of us all But not tonight Broken bones and bloody claws drink cheap wine and let it go lying tyrants in our hearts this will be the end of us all this will be the end of us all But not tonight

Better 02:51
It's been 7 short years with nothing to show for it A hustlers resume and a new desire for spirits I've made some friends But mostly acquaintances I have no influence and no one cares what I'm writing If you can do better If you can do better than I can If you can do better Then why haven't you even tried yet I ask myself what went wrong was it my management or your songs did we drink too much did we piss important people off what if we made it what if we were still friends what if I hadn't changed and nothing you said was exaggerated If you can do better If you can do better than I can If you can do better Then why haven't you even tried yet Don't wanna sound jaded I'm sorry if I sound pissed off None of this is about you Though I know you wish it was If you can do better If you can do better than I can If you can do better Then why haven't you even tried yet
5.
Sport 02:41
I liked sport when I was very young now im far too old and un fit to run I never got picked first or last at lunch then it got too rough and I found art and I dont wanna feel like im being a stick in the mud now my only sport is masturbation when im drunk I bet your proud of me dad I like to go out drinking at bars and pubs better if the band is really loud then I dont have to pretend I know what your talking about fuck the gym, you look just like everyone else and I dont wanna feel like im being a stick in the mud in a couple of years when all the burritos and beers catch up I'll be a fat cunt

Ryan Adams 03:15
Ryan, what is it that you want but this whole towns evolved, from backwards shopping malls Adams, you'll never leave the garden you're the snake that tastes the virgins, collecting peoples souls If you wade in the river then the rivers gonna wash you away Riot, on the streets of old London killing fucking fuss and fumbling, oh I'm chord beneath the soul and I Waited, for the bus all morning and I didn't know that they had changed the route, so I had to walk home If you wade in the river then the rivers gonna wash you away Quiet, in the town where you grew up heartbreaker in the mud, cardinals of nothing good Fired, from the job you worked as a kid your losing all your confidence, oh I think we might have just slipped If you wade in the river then the rivers gonna wash you away

Chumps 04:04
Oh hey, I didn’t see you there I know your lying it’s the reason you stood where your standing now Why waste our time tonight People like you make me question my choices in life You should know O-oblivious is selfish I know you don’t mean it But you’re ruining my evening just by being here I’ve been planning this for weeks Promoted heavily and told every delegate that I meet Then you caught my eye across the bar There goes that major label A&R rep You should know O-oblivious is selfish I don’t need these questions Why can’t we just be a little less than acquaintances O-oblivious is selfish I know you don’t mean it But you’re ruining my evening just by being here Why do you try Did you waste your life Well don’t waste mine Your actually fire Burn the family home down With the wife and kids inside While you cry Try to put them out Your setting them alight Their hair is smoke They cough and choke Watch their little faces melt They Don’t hate But they blame you For ruining their lives
8.
Not Now 03:31
NOT NOW I believe in fucking up to learn make mistakes and wear down all your nerves soon enough you'll be old enough to know that what you lost, you lost a long time ago Well I've been wasted for 27 years but not in that way that shames my families names My lack of skills and risks have me bland I don't know if I can ever take that back but no, not know, not ever, no never but no, somehow, forever, you'll never learn I got drunk and stumbled around my house half naked and mumbling shit that doesn't make sense anorexic kid full piss and vinegar fuck I wrecked myself just see how wrecked I could get but no, not know, not ever, no never but no, somehow, forever, you'll never learn We can be lions and lie in the dirt until we break apart. or we can be higher and hope to hell that this never hurts and we never learn but no, not know, not ever, no never but no, somehow, forever, you'll never learn

I fell into a fire I fell into a fire and it burns me up I gotta do what I want I gotta do what I want just to survive When a stranger calls I'm fine, tell them I’m trying, I’m trying I fell into a storm I fell into a storm and it blew my mind I gotta tell you the truth I gotta tell you I’m frustrated all the time When a stranger calls I’m fine, tell them I’m trying, I’m trying this will all be over soon, you tell me that, like your telling the truth this will all be over soon, lie to me, I'll lie to you I fell onto the floor I fell onto the floor repeatedly I gotta get back up I gotta get back up before you leave When a stranger calls I’m fine, tell them I’m trying, I’m trying

breathe heavy deep and wallow in the deafening sound drown yourself in amber aluminium fuel lie down, lie down, in the sun throw ourselves around in mud and swelling heat soon we'll be too drunk to stand on just two feet lie down, lie down, in the sun

Luc Longley 03:34
You look lonely, so lonely What your feeling is valid, its real, I have it, and I know it won't leave You look terrified, and I know why There's a lot of bad habits, lot of bad habits left to Shake Browsing cut outs from a carpet catalogue You can tell, you can tell, you can tell that we hate ourselves Try something, try anything Not a lot left and you're not quite ready to run Welcome to the age of the over stimulated There's a lot of bad habits, lot of bad habits left to break Browsing cut outs from a carpet catalogue You can tell, you can tell, you can tell that we hate ourselves Welcome to the age of the over educated Stupid and boring, and morally fucked in the face We can never feel this drunk on anything There's a lot of bad habits, lot of bad habits left to create Browsing cut outs from a carpet catalogue You can tell, you can tell, you can tell that we hate ourselves

Balls 04:20
I'm feeling coarse, I'm feeling strained my legs hurt, but I'm kneeling I got this tension in my veins here comes the quiet and I'm mad, I'm mad as hell I haven't slept, but I'm not awake my teeth shake and tremble I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling far away Here comes the quiet and I'm mad, I'm mad as hell Were so far down, I'm so far down Everything buckles from the weight my skin cracks and breaks Here comes, here comes the quiet and I'm mad, I'm mad as hell brittle bones twist and shake you pick me up, I pull you down I'm feeling rough, I'm wide awake Here comes the quiet and I'm mad, I'm mad as hell I'm mad, I'm mad as hell
